Chamber of Commerce confer ence on natural resources held at San' Fran cisco Wednesday turned out, as predicted, to be an assault on federal lands. We regret, however, to see that the lead was taken by our good friend Frank McCaslin of Portland. He is chairman of the chamber's committee on natural resources and declared that feder al ownership of vast land areas is hampering development of 'resources, ; industries and communities. And he pointed to wall maps showing the. percentage of lands in federal ownership. ' ' - Come now, Frank, and prove your case. 'What federal lands would you dispose of: The Indian lands? Surely the whites are not going to sell the Indians out from their ab breviated heritage (though they may decide to do that themselves). National parks? , Maybe the Olympic park is overgrown, but what others should be curtailed? Not Crater Lake or Yellowstone or Yosemite, surely. " National forests? Isn't it a good thing for private industry and communities that we have these great reserves to fall back on now that private timber is so nearly gone? Well, the only remaining sizeable area is the grazing lands.' But they , are leased to stock men under such favorable terms that the deal is better than owning the lands and pay ing taxes on them. The only reason these lands are in public ownership is because they were too poor to be worth homesteading. There are chunks of lands here and there which infringe on community expansion, chiefly military reservations. Portland wants Vanport back, for example. But these j are xt minor consequence, i ! 1 The U. S. Chamber should quit dealing in generalities and say just what lands it pro poses to turn to private ownership, and on what terms. ' . 1 Scene Shifts in California Politics ".The appointment of 'Governor Warren of California to the Supreme Court clears the way for Goodwin J. Knight to succeed him as governor. Knight is serving his second term as lieutenant governor but has; been popping buttons off his vest to run for gov ernor. He was in the race the last time War- ren declared himself and Knight made a 'strategic retreat." Already he had declared his candidacy lor the 1954 contest. Now the office comes to him on a platter, though he will have to run for the'jiext term. The in cumbency gives him a running start on 1954. The Democrats had begun to perkrtip hopes of translating their heavy registration ma jority into .ballot box crosses on ballots, -with the redoubtable Warren out of the way. They will have to make a fresh view of the-field - ' with Knight as incumbent. The latter will not be as nearly invincible as Warren, who ' for his second term won nominations of both big .parties. I. Knight is on the conservative side -of the GOP which will affect his drawing power among middle-of-the-road voters. Calif orn ians in the past have looked the candidates over and then voted without much Tegard to party lines. Whether they are ready to re turn to party harness remains to be seen. If they do, in view of the preponderant Demo cratic registration, it will be goodnight for Goodwin Knight. ; A 17-year-old California boy told the Eu- gene police how he killed a man at Shasta lake just to get his car for a trip to see his ' girl. Murders go back to the world's first fam ily but now they seem to have become very casual affairs. Cain had real fires of jealousy to prorhpt him to kill Abel; but this boy was only pursuing a whim. How can we do a bet ter job of instilling the moral controls which will keep youth from crime? That is our grav est domestic question, i i Tax on Manufactures? President Eisenhower said the administra tion had no intention of asking for a national sales tax, but said he might ask for an ex cise tax on all manufactures. The sales tax field, he feels, is preempted by state and local governments. : " ; We have a variety of excise taxes now, many of which hit at the retail level: Jewel ry, furs, -cosmetics. The major excise taxes (as on tobacco, liquors) are collected from manufacturers. t Most tax authorities agree that manufac turers' taxes pyramid and so fall with a heav ier burden on the ultimate consumer, A five per cent tax at the point of manufacture be comes imbedded; in the cost price to the job ber and wholesaler and retailer and the per centage markup at each stage in the transfer from producer to consumer builds up the original five per cent to a considerably high . er figure, y Any tax is a burden, to be sure; and it falls on the "weakest link" in the chain, which usually is the consumer. We should, however, match 'out government outgo with adequate income. The job of the President and of Congress is to develop a tax pro gram which will be the most fair as well as the least painfuL PLUMBER'S WRENCH Traubel Out of the Met Helen Traubel is backtracking on a musical star's career. Many musicians come up through the music hall or popular concert stage, or even the night club circuit, but few reverse their direction after they reach star dom and the golden glow of the "Met." Miss Traubel, who filled in the latter part of the summer with appearances at Chez Paree, a Chicago nitery, : spurns the conditions of her return to the Metropolitan in order to contin ue to sing at night clubs. Rudolph Bing, man ager 6f the Met, had required that she re frain from such appearances in New York before and after her grand opera engage ments. Traubel called that "snobbery." Well, if it' is i snobbery the butter on the bread probably is thicker at the Chez Parees, , or at the Las j Vegas gambling emporiums where Melchoir has returned for repeat en- ' gagements. One can attend a performance at the Met for under $5 a seat but try to get out of a night club for less than ten. We can agree with Traubel that there is much good music which doesn't qualify as "grand opry" and which singers like to sing. But it must be admitted there is a "caste" in music and among singers. And to drop out of the Met in order to be free to perform in the pleasure haunts of the cities and gambling casinos does seem to degrade the art and the artist. Nelson Eddy has shifted to radio and movie musicales, -which probably provide him bigger income, but his rating as a singer is lowered (though that may be why he shift ed. Traubel will never be acclaimed as the great Wagnerian star now that she glitters in Chez Paree. ij . . . Editorial Comment PRIMARY WHAT KIND? Presidential' primaries they appeared import ant in 1952 before and during the nominating conventions, and they probably will take on sig nificance again in 1956 or before. Meanwhile,' only a little is done about them. Part of that little, however, consists of a pre liminary report to the American. Political Science Association by a group of Brookings Institution researchers which is making an extensive study of the subject. Their initial work has included sift ing into six classifications the 17 state laws on presidential primaries. Actually, says Dr. Paul T. David, there are not merely six kinds of presidential primaries but 17 kinds, because every such law differs from every other in some particular. But the prelim inary findings are favorable mainly to two of the six classifications. One of these is the California-Wisconsin-Min-nesota-South Dakota type in which a single mark expresses a choice both for a nominee and a slate of delegates. Another is the New York-Pennsylvania-Illinois type whereby voters elect district delegates and party organizations choose delegates-at-large. Most of the state legislatures will not convene again until 1955. Only 13 hold lawmaking sessions in the even-numbered years. But by another year instructive comparisons should be available on the practical workings of these laws. Meanwhile it is important to keep alive the interest which will help give rank-and-file citizens a meaningful part in the choice of party presidential nom inees. (Christian Science Monitor.)

ROBERTS JR. - Associated Press News Analyst - - President Eisenhower, without actually coupling the two things himself, has now expressed the best reason ever offered for a top .' level four-power conference. He says Russian possession of the hydrogen bomb makes it more . important than ever to find out what her intentions are I The possibility of learning some ; thing on this point at high level J conferences was quickly recognized after Winston Churchill made his suggestion last May. It was just about the only point at which clin ical observers thought there was a possibility of concrete results. . It was also recognized that Rus- . sia would not go into a conference unless she had definite objectives of her own and a real hope of car- v rying them out and that recogniz ing the Western objective, she ; would make every effort to baffle it with a false display of sweetness ' and light - ' ; Eisenhower iswell aware of what happened at Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam. Yet he and all the Western coun tries are' faced with the problem not so much of whether there will eventually be a war, but when. .They have to be prepared for ' eventual war. But if it is not likely to tome quickly, then over-preparedness now is a waste of resources which will weaken their ultimate ' position. . f ' : Eisenhower's doubt that there is much possibility of agreement with an anti-religious nation is enhanced by the facts that Russia is totali tarian, that she is traditionally ex pansionist, and that this expansion ism has been tied to a revolution ary dream which will collapse if it loses its belligerent dynamism. The best means of determining a country's intent, of course, is to look at its acts. Russia's record is clear. No amount of talk, only a new record of action, can pre sent her in a new light If there is no question about her hostility, there stm is a ques tion of how far she intends to carry it, and if it is to be carried to new peaks, when?
